Look at me
When I'm talking to you
When you're trying to gather
The pieces of
Your self-identity
That I've just broken
Desperately crawling
around for crumbs
To recompose
And reconstruct
A resemblance of
A human being
Look at me
And listen
Everything I'm saying
Is what you know is true
I've been the devil
On your shoulder
Whispering it to you
Take a closer look
And you'll see
That you're worthless
Irrelevant
And not ever even seen
No amount of personality
Will ever make your glitter gleam
So before you try
To draw the lines
That map out
All of your self-hatred
And despise
Just know
It'll never work tonight
You'll live another day
To fight
Only to hear my voice say
Look at me
When I'm talking to you!
